Cozy Library Vibes

Games I play: PSO2:NGS, Minecraft, Genshin Impact I will be reblogging stuff about these if not posting my own stuff. I also write MCYT fanfic on another blog which is a mess right now, so this is a cleaner spot to reblog art I like until I can think of other stuff to do. I also work on a FNAF AU called Parlourverse that spans ten years and can be found here on tumblr and on AO3. Corruption of Minecraftia fanfic series on AO3 FNAF Parlourverse AU Mainline fanfic series on AO3 The latest series in the World of Minecraftia AU where Minecraft avatars are living entities separate from their players and are locked in a battle to contain and suppress the Herobrine Virus so it doesn't escape to reality in a mission to destroy all life. (It's a long story.)

This art's inspiration is when my search of Alucard as Dracula had resulted of 2 of 3 Alucards burn my eyeballs in separate 2v8 matches

THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

Jack Dorsey funded this with his nonprofit AndOtherStuff. The home page for the organization explicitly lists AI as one of its pillars, saying a goal is "making NOSTR the best social protocol for open source AI development and implementation"

A collaborative Nostr funding initiative to develop strategic pillars for the Nostr ecosystem

What is open source AI?

It's a program that publicly shares its code for free online, so that anyone can use it for themselves. This means that anything this AI is trained on could eventually make its way into any business, social media site, etc. That uses this code. Or, if not, it'll have the ability to harvest content as well as this.

Even since the app doesn't allow AI openly on the videos themselves, the app is likely to use our original content to train its AI. You might have seen that some AI have experienced a positive feedback loop of declining quality, training itself on other AI slop until anything it produces is unintelligible.

This is likely an attempt to prevent that in video format

Then, any other company that wants to use the code can use this better trained AI to make it even harder to recognize AI across the board.

You can read about the connection to AndOtherStuff, as well as the developers' reasons for the project here:

Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive | TechCrunch

Jack Dorsey backs diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive of six-second, looping videos. A new app called diVine will give

TLDR; do not give Jack Dorsey any credit for this, do not download the app, and tell others not to either. It's a nostalgia-bait attempt at fueling another AI model

komanche told twitch that if they dont let dnf in then they better find a way to get justin bieber in instead 😭

[patsvicr]

komanche: here's the thing — if i don’t do things, nothing gets done. because look, it happened with dream and george. they were the first ones who got denied from the list, and i went about dream and george to tell them, “hey, i want dream and george to play, they’re on the denied list.” and they told me, “no, they’re not going to play.” and i was like, “really?” and they said, “no.” so i said, “okay, well, i'll forgive you only if you get justin bieber to play,” because i saw he had started playing [minecraft]. and they said, “okay, lol.” and i just stayed quiet after that. but then later— [shadoune pauses the clip]

shadoune: [laughs] well, there you go — trade justin bieber for dream and george. komanche is a genius, huh? negotiating with the twitch people..

A week ago I was losing my mind over 1 sale, now I’ve sold 81 digital copies and 52 physical ones.

Over 100 people bought my game!!!!????? This is mind blowing. I don’t even know how to process this. I am so grateful. I would not have sold nearly this many without yall sharing this post as much as you did. I love you all so much. Thank you for making this happen. You all made my childhood dream come true in a bigger way than I thought possible.

How to get writers to love you.

[brightmouth-deactivated20230417]

My spouse and I just had one of those “wait your brain works HOW?” exchanges, and now I am BURNING TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS FOR OTHER PEOPLE:

Fellow speakers of this feral bastard language (English), rb and tell me in the tags: what is the delineation for you, if any, between evening and night?

[dreamsy990]

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

[dreamsy990]

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

[dreamsy990]

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

[dreamsy990]

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

hey, I went to Mad At You Island and it wasn't empty. there was a stranger you were a bit curt with on a bad day, an old friend who you got into a falling out with, a labmate who's experiment you messed up by mistake, someone who's birthday you forgot, an internet stranger who is hellbent on deciding you're not morally good enough for not reblogging a post or not following a one day boycott. and it is kind of mortifying to realise that Mad At You Island will never be uninhabited, but it's just a fact of life. and if you try to reduce the population to zero, you'll end up whittling yourself down to nothing

Someone just blokt me for sending them links to free PDFs of anarchist and Marxist theory when they said the only requirement to be a leftist is "not being a jerk." Lol. Lmao, even.

I've been unable to play Genshin for aaaages due to bad internet. Finally got good (enough) internet, updated my game and went in on like the last day of Raiden Shogun's banner.

I was on soft pity from pulling for Mauvika so I threw in a ten pull and BAM! Got the last Archon I needed for my collection :D

However, that means I won the 50/50 so I need to lose the next one to get a guarantee.

Skirk banner just came out so I decide to throw what little primos I have left at her to start rebuilding pity.

11 pulls in:

Well. Fuck. I'm back to 0 again and I still haven't lost 50/50. Hoyoverse be rigging my pulls since I've been away from the game for like 3 months.
